What a week! Busy with social stuff and fabric stuff, it just doesn't get any better than that does it? Today I'm off to meet someone who's in the area, and I can't wait. With the onset of some cooler weather.. well the week couldn't be better.

I'm not one to want to hog the whole good times to myself, so I thought I'd have a little giveaway here! How about one repeat of my button card fabric? It's pretty cute, and a perfect example of Holly's genius in action. She took the tiny idea of some button cards and turns it into this. Some fantastic collaboration right there - in fabric - with my name on it. But the genius.. all Holly.

Leave me a comment telling me what you might do with it, and I'll pull a name out of the hat Sunday night! How's that? Pretty easy right? Now, you guys have an awesome weekend then come back and tell me all about it next week! xo

I was thinking of cutting it apart and making quilt squares for some pillows. But let's be honest, I'm have a fabric addiction so it may go into a pretty stack in my sewing room. I love looking at and feeling fabric! Is there any help for me???

I think cutting them apart and making a needle case with the "cards" as the front and back would be adorable. You could line that part, turn and then do some cute stitching like a decorative stitch or top stitch. Then place a piece of wool or felt inside and maybe embroider a little heart on that. Slip in a pretty gold needle threaded and ready to go. Special Pam Kitty Morning Love to share with your sewing buddies!

There just so dang cute! I think we'll be seeing this in quilt borders. But it would be darling as a border on a little girl's dress. Or imagine a row on some white curtains in a vintage kitchen. With a matching apron. I think the possibilities go on and on.

Be still my heart - this is adorable, Pam. I don't stand a chance of winning (not lucky these days) but if I did win I'd make something sweet for my sewing room. Might have to cut the 'cards' apart and use some my PKM scraps around them.

Love the fabric. You have to know I have a couple of button boxes, okay more than a couple including a jar of my mom's as well as one containing buttons well loved by Dale's maiden aunt Bea. This fabric would make a great tote, perhaps with some of those buttons as trim. Thanks for the possibility.

Such adorable fabric! I'm thinking something for my sewing room? Seeing the 15 cents on the one card of buttons reminded me of something I pulled out of my trim drawer the other day. An unopened package of soutache - wrapped in brittle cellophane. Yep. 15 cents! No telling how old that thing is!! LOLThanks for your generosity.

Yes, OMGoodness, I love, love, love this. I'm a pink and red kinda girl and love everything you do. I am looking to make an adorable sewing machine cover....several actually. I have the (red) Bernina and a Candy apple red Featherweight.....they both need adorable covers!!!!! This could be that!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I've got lots of leftover PKM fabric from making Nanette's row quilt and I am ready, will and able to take on this cutest fabric ever. I even have some of strawberry embroidered pieces I order just like she did.

Cute, cute! I am thinking itwould make a perfect little girl skirt with a single card appliqued on a red t-shirt! Add some pink leggings and white Mary Jane's and I think it would be the most darling Valentine's outfit. I have a perfect model too! Have a happy weekend!

Oh my, I would have to make a beautiful sewing machine cover for my Bernina. The fabric would be PERFECT, as the theme is cherries and red and green. Wow, what a great Christmas present that would be!!Thanks for the opportunity.Nettie

I saw this lovely fabric on Nanette's blog and had to run to you right away.Such a sweet and cute fabric design.To tell you the truth, I would not cut in this fabric for a while. Would probably hang it on the wall to look at it. And if I make something, I think I would make mug rugs and pincushions, so that I can make lots and share them with others. Who wouldn't it make happy?

nanette sent me. I love that fabric and I collect button cards from antique stores. I don't know what I would do with it. It is one of those fabrics that would be hard to cut into for me. thanks for a chance.

It would be hard to cut it up.... but I think it would make a really cute game for the kiddos - sort of a memory game type of thing - a set of 2 of each button card design... probably back it with iron on interfacing to make them a little stiffer... layer that with batting and a backing like wool felt, blanket stitch to the backing - like little cards... put in a cute little bag/fabric basket (like ps i quilt's friendship bag free pattern) made with the same fabric to store it in... for my nieces! For Valentine's Day! :O)

At first I thought I would have to back a quilt with it - not cut into it because it's so dang cute! But then I thought how great it would be to have an apron and some hot pads or even a tote bag! Or pillow cases or a table topper, or, or, or!!! I would probably have to "pet" it for a while before I truly decided! xo

Oooh, too cute fabric to cut up. I would have to fondle it for a while and study (admire) each button card for all the details. Perhaps a mini-quilt eventually(all in one piece) to be displayed.Thank You for the giveaway. Maybe someday I shall win. Luba

I can think of dozens of ways to use this fabric: valentine cards, needlebooks, it would be a great back for a quilt, perfect curtains for my sewing room, a wonderful tote bag or sewing kit, i pad or kindle cover, the possibilities are endless.

W/ all the wonderful red(just festive not seasonal!)I immediately thought of cute totes for friends and family members for Christmas gifts or napkins that again could be used at Cmas & all yr!I think some of the button sqrs could also be embroidered on & framed for my sewing rm/office!! Just too cute!!

Oh, I see little needlecases.....applique a button card on some wool and make a little "booklet", tuck in some needles and Voila.....a little gift for my friends at Valentine's Day. I love your little button cards, would love to win a fabric repeat.......if not, I'll have to go in search of your fabric! :-)
